Vera Bradley purses

I had always had a far-away fascination with Vera Bradley purses. I have a fondness for the durability of quilted purses, and this brand is the best known name in them

You can imagine the surprise I felt when I received a Vera Bradley tote for Christmas, filled to the brim with Bath and Body works lotions and bath stuffs! Shock is a very mild description for what I felt. (Goodness, does Josh's mum have a good eye for a well-constructed purse!)

I received this tote bag. Isn't the print adorable? 

I somehow expected the bag to be heavier, but it's lightweight, and carries so much stuff in it! I have managed to fit a change of clothes, my brush and medicines, a toothbrush and toothpaste, my Kindle, my checkbook, and several smaller items in the inside pockets (there's a bunch of them!) which made it easier to organize things. 

I LOVE this purse! (The only way to top this would be a Coach purse, but that will likely quite a while in coming.) 

What kind of purses do you all prefer to carry?
